Title: Improvements in Road Trains.
IPC: B62D13/00
Filed: 1913-10-24
Granted: 1915-06-24
Abstract: 24,113. Oesterreichische Daimler Motoren Akt.-Ges., and Reik, H. Oct. 24. Compound or articulated vehicles and road trains; couplings for road trains.-The axles of the vehicles of road trains are coupled by poles a c, c e, Fig. 5, of which the parts a b, c d, projecting forwardly beyond each axle, are longer than the rear parts b c, d e. The object is to diminish the leverage of each following axle on the preceding one and thus lessen the disturbing effect on the steering. Fig. 9 shows a form in which the axles are grouped in pairs, I II, III IV, &c., the axles in each pair being connected by equal poles b c, c d, f g, g h, &c., the coupling points c, g, &c. having vertical pivots, while the remaining coupling points e, i, &c. are each nearer to their preceding axle than to the following one. Thus, for each axle, the forwardly projecting part of the pole is longer than the rear part. The above proportional arrangement of the coupling-rods causes the rear vehicles of a train to deviate towards the centre of the curve taken by the leading vehicle. To remedy this, each axle is connected to the next by resistances such as springs A B, C D, Fig. 7, the strength of these resistances increasing from the front to the rear of the train. Or equal resistances may be employed throughout, and the relative lengths of the arms a b, b c, Fig. 5, of the coupling-poles may be varied, the arms being made more nearly equal towards the rear of the train. In this case, to enable the vehicles to be coupled in any order,. removable lengthening-poles H G I, Fig. 10, are employed.

Abstract: 24,173. Stevens & Co., A. J., and Stevens, G. Oct. 25. Guarding against wrong movements; setting and retaining devices. -Comprises lever-andquadrant controlling-apparatus for motor-cycles &c., in which the lever can be sprung sideways to allow projections on it to clear or engage shoulders on the quadrant. In the form shown, the quadrant bars a are straight and parallel in plan, and ridges a<4>, a<9> are formed thereon, one on each bar, opposite gaps a<3>, a<8>, respectively. Shoulders a<7>, a<1> are thus formed between which projections b<1> on the lever b can engage, the lever being thus locked in position while it can be moved along the quadrant by springing it sideways until one of the projections clears the corresponding shoulder. A gap a<11> is made in the ridge a<9> for the neutral position of the lever. In a modification, applicable to all cases in which a lever is sprung sideways to clear shoulders on the quadrant, the projections on the lever may be raised above the shoulders, when desired, in order to allow the lever to be moved straight through from one end of the quadrant to the other without sideways movement.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Process of Producing Kinematograph Films in Natural Colours.
Inventor: COX SAMUEL JAMES
IPC: G03C7/22
Filed: 1914-06-30
Granted: 1915-08-30
Abstract: 15,648. Cox, S. J. June 30. Colour photography.-A process is described, more particularly applicable for kinematograph films, in which two colour images are first produced in the original gelatine coating of the support, one of these being a blue print, and the other produced by resensitizing the same gelatine layer and exposing a second colour negative. For a three-colour film, the third colour is obtained by recoating the film and printing from the third colour negative. The positive may be printed from three separate colour negatives, or from a single negative having recurring series of colour negatives. The blue print may be obtained by toning a bromide print, and in developing and toning the print, materials should be avoided which tend to harden the gelatine. Thus amidol or ferrous oxalate could be used for developing, and as weak a solution of ferricyanide as is possible in the toning process. After the blue image is formed, the gelatine is resensitized with a bichromate solution and printed from a positive of the red-printing negative. The chromate salt is removed by washing and, if necessary, by an acid sulphite of potassium bath, and the film immersed in, say, pinatype red, an excess of ammonia being avoided. For a third colour, this two-colour picture film is recoated with a bichromated colloid and printed from a positive of the third colour printing negative. Where albumen is used as a colloid, it is desirable to coagulate the albumen stratum when dry by the application of dilute alcohol.

Title: Improvements in Liquid-fuel Feeding Mechanism for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: WINTON ALEXANDER
IPC: F02D1/00
Filed: 1915-07-15
Abstract: 10,309. Winton, A. July 15. Regulating delivery by throttle and stop valves; valves and valve seats, arrangement of; single-acting piston pumps.-In an internalcombustion engine in which fuel is injected into the cylinder, means are provided between the fuel supply and the injection device, to regulate the amount of fuel supplied to the injection device, and so to regulate the speed of the engine. A governor 5 adapted to be driven from the main crank-shaft regulates the fuelcontrolling mechanism through a lever 13. The fuel-feeding mechanism is enclosed in a casing 14 and comprises a number of pumps 19, one for each cylinder, the plungers 20, Fig. 6, of which are operated by eccentrics 16, Fig. 2, on a shaft 15 driven through gearing at half the speed of the main shaft. Each pump casing has a fuel-inlet port 35, the passage to which from the supply pipe 41 is controlled by non- return valves 38, and a fuel delivery pipe 33 leading from a passage 28 connected to the pump, this passage also being controlled by a plurality of non-return valves 34. The fuel is supplied by the pump to an injection-device in each cylinder. The supply pipe 41 to each pump is connected to a fuel-regulating device 76 which consists of a rotating disk valve 96 provided with a cut-out portion adapted to uncover a series of concentric ports 93 arranged on a valve seating, one for each cylinder. The fuel is supplied from the tank 109 under pressure, so that as the port to the pump is uncovered, it may be assumed that the space below the plunger in the pump is instantly filled with fuel, and that the supply of fuel is therefore regulated by the position of the pump piston at the time that the corresponding port is uncovered. To vary this relative position, the long spiral gear 81, through which the valve is rotated by a spiral 79 on an extension of the pump shaft 15, is connected by the lever 13 to the governor so that as the speed varies, this gear is moved verticallv and thus rotates the valve spindle relatively to the driving-gear and thus the position of cut-off by the valve in relation to the position of the pump plunger. The regulating-valve is balanced and kept to its seat by a spring-pressed ball 105.

Abstract: 16,671. James, H. V. Nov. 25. [Addition to 596/15.] Feeding webs. - Relates to the electrodynamic braking system for controlling the tension of the web fed to a rotary printing-press described in the parent Specification, and consists chiefly in applying the brake to a web gripping and tensioning roller instead of to the feed-reel. The webtensioning rollers may be of the kind described in Specification 16,357/15 and comprising two rubber-covered rollers T, T<1> adjustably pressed together by a spring Z and separable for " shearing-up " by a cam L. As shown, the armatures N, N' of the dynamos M, M' are connected in series across supply mains S and are geared to the shaft P' of the tension roller T' and to a shaft of the press respectively, so that the electromotive forces developed in the machines are equal and opposite, that of the machine M being in the same direction as that of the supply mains S. Resistances r are arranged in series with the armatures, so that the energy of the circuit, and consequently the working tension of the web, can be varied. In a multi-deck press, either of the dynamos may be arranged in multiple as described in the parent Specification. To prevent overrunning of the reel when the press is stopped, any satisfactory brake may be applied to the feed-reel.
